Fauxtographer 

A person who tries to jump on the photography band-wagon by "Pointing-and-shooting" hundreds of terrible pictures, which they will upload to myspace in an album titled "My Photography", "My Art", or "Critique My work". Always followed up by the person adding "Photography" to their General section, or adding "Photography is my life..." to their About Me.

Joseph: Jake the composition of your pictures are terrible... It looks like you just pointed your camera at whatever flowers or animals or graffiti you saw.... Plus half of them are out of focus, and as it got darker, you didn't change your exposure settings and these pictures didn't come out at all... It looks to me like you are a pseudo-photographer, a fauxtographer.

Fauxtographer 

A person that claims to be a good photographer when in reality they just set their camera to automatic mode a start shooting. This person also happens to fumble over photographic terms or has no knowledge of the terms or switches the color mode to monochrome and calls it artistic no matter what the hell is in in frame.
Funny how all of these "candid" subjects are posing and looking at the camera, this person is a real good fauxtographer!

Wow blurry black and white pictures of tree bark... what a fauxtographer.

fauxtographer 

Similar to a actual photographer, but not a real artist. Not to be confused with a simple camera owner.

Often presented as a guy with an expensive camera or photography equipment for the sole intent of taking pictures of scantily-clad beautiful women. Easily identified by cheesy pickup lines, but some are more subtle.
Mike says to April: "Shoot shoot shoot! When can I shoot you????" Mike is a fauxtographer.

fartographer 

A person specialized in the study of what people eat and how they live based on the images and patterns left on the subject's underwear.
After having studied the subject's underwear, the fartographer quickly deduced that the subject had eaten spicey food the night before and had good posture.

facetographer 

A facetographer is someone who is under the false delusion that because they spent several hundred (sometimes thousands) dollars on DSLR camera of which they do not know how to use properly or refuse to learn properly, that they can take professional quality pictures. These people tend to start a 'photography company' page on facebook and convince people to pay them money to shoot horrible photography for ignorant and stupid customers. The typical facetographer usually reaches full denial mode when an actual professional photographer informs them of their complete lack of skill. They will go on a rant to that professional about how their photography is 'raw'.

Male Facetographers will typically claim that they are professionals in order to use naive girls in order to take racy pictures of them in an attempt to get laid. Female facetographers tend to believe that their use of facebook photo editing apps like 'Piknik' qualifies them to charge people to take their wedding pictures. AVOID FACETOGRAPHERS AT ALL COSTS.
This guy Louis on my friends list keeps posting all his horrible 'professional' photography. He's such a facetographer.
